Popular Post Ulrich Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 I along with many have wanted the Jets to lose this & every season after they were eliminated from playoff contention. To get the highest draft pick possible. Look how far that’s gotten us. It’s great programs that win. Not where you draft. Good/great programs like the Chiefs, Ravens, Niners, Packers, Pats, Steelers, et al drafted at the end of the first round annually for many years when they’ve been good. Yet they just kept winning. Because their great programs. Picking high in the draft is fool’s gold. Unless it’s for a legit franchise QB. The only time we should be rooting for the Jets to lose is if we’re convinced the current regime is incompetent. This regime seems to check that box. So yes I don’t mind if the Jets lose Sunday because JD & Saleh’s results have been awful and the hotter their seats the better. They either rise to the occasion next season or get gone asap. This endless cycle of rooting to lose for a high draft pick is a loser’s game. Instead we can hope the Jets to win Sunday because a light finally went on in this regime’s dim bulb. Otherwise we’ll be back in the exact same place next year. 10 4 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beerfish Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 No it is utterly stupid in a lost season to win meaningless games that screw you come draft time. The Jets have proven this time and time and time again. Those wins are forgotten in a week and come draft time you miss out on far better player in every round.

But winning an extra game in a lost season means very little longterm. I do think your important core players have to learn to win at some point, but I think that happens when you are still in contention with the playoffs on the line 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BP Posted January 2 Popular Post Share Posted January 2 Off topic a bit, but part of the root cause of the problem. The Steelers invest in their players, the Jets are too cheap and don’t. That’s one reason why the Jets have so many injuries. Somebody compared the Jets training staff to the Steelers and it literally was a joke. The jets have mostly interns, the Steelers have professionals. The Steelers have had a full time sports dietitian on their payroll for 10 years. Dr Kim Schwabenbauer. Remember a few years back fatso Mekhi had to hire his own dietitian? That worked out well. The problems lie way deeper in the franchise than just knowing how to find talent in the draft. The Jets are clueless from literally top to bottom. They may have a state of the art training facility in florham park, but they have interns training players. It’s a ******* joke and they’re in denial they’re doing anything wrong. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These meaningless wins never make a culture difference at all. Once we were eliminated, Saleh should have sat the starters (as much as possible) and played the reserves. it serves numerous puproses: it help identify who you want to bring back the following year, it helps give these guys experience and it spares any unnecessary injuries to you star players. Oh and it helps, if possible, to get a better pick in the draft. We already know what these guys can do like JJ, Sauce, Breece, GW, QW, QW, JFM, Conklion, etc etc etc They need to play guys who are on the bubble, call up some practice squad players, deactivate their star players and call it a rainy day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and there's more than one way to skin a cat, but if you get the right HC and QB (and you'll be a perennial contender). I do respect the Ravens, Eagles, and 49ers a lot though, especially the Ravens. They seem to have been able to develop complete teams and adapted to significant changes at QB over the years. Patriots and Steelers are model franchises as well but both never seemed to be able to bounce back after their HOF QBs left. Ideally, you have a great organization in place to that can identify and develop talent. But, you can turn it around with the right draft picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetPotato Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Any victory you have in a season after playoff elimination is damaging to the franchise no matter who is in charge. We need a loss, not only for draft position, but also one less reason to keep the current regime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesr Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Also the Rams won a SB in large part due to a combo of years of tanking and stockpiling picks.

It is true that a good organization is needed to be a consistent winner.I was looking back to see which QBs who were highly drafted had gone on to win a Superbowl. The first one I thought of was Eli - who had been retired for several years. Burrow is the most recent example who came close. Stafford was the previous actual winner, though not with his original team.Mahomes was drafted 10th, which kind of goes against the "tank for the top pick" mantra in my mind. Goff and Wentz came close. Newton from 2011. But overall - not a huge amount of success picking a QB #1, or even top 5.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stafford is a great example of someone who was going to be really good no matter how bad the situation, but also proves that you need a good team and situation to be a championship QB. Would Mahomes have been great without Reid + Chiefs? I think so...would he have been as good and as early in his career? I don't....that team was loaded and the HC is one of the greatest offensive minds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the last of top OTs so JD had to pick a guy we didn’t really need. Maybe why you notice we haven’t been able to pick many premium OL. Becton bust. They had to trade up for AVT. Never want to have to trade up and throw away picks. Let’s look back when Josh mcCown in 2017 over achieved during rebuild year. Jets fought so hard to move out of the top 3, get six overall. Just to give up 3 2nd round picks just to get back to 3 overall again 🙈🤣. Not Have a 2nd in 2019, when star wide outs like dee boo Samuel, AJ brown, and DK metcalf all went. What kills the jets, The “ good “ teams that pick late usually have strong offense. Since everyone but the realize, offense wins. So everyone drafts top O talent early ( exceptions especially pass rushers ). Why the good teams can pick a great D player, who was there late because of what side of the ball he plays.
